TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Trevor Pelletier tries on a gas mask as he tours "Base X." He is the son of 2nd Lt. Chad and Nikki Pelletier from the 552nd Training Squadron here. Trevor and other children of airmen assigned here participated in Operation KUDOS, designed to help "Kids Understand Deployment Operations." The children received briefings, processed through a deployment line, received ID cards and dog tags. At "Base X," they received samples of meals ready to eat and toured through tents that house sleeping quarters, kitchens and recreation areas. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman K.L. Kimbrell)
